I have like 3 covers for Deadpool. He's my least covered 4*. Was hoping I'd have a chance to build him up some more... Ah well.0
-
I am interested to see how 3/5/5 people do with XDP. Black obviously wont do anything, and purple is a pain if you dont have Xforce.0
-
I've been thinking about that too, Barrok. I think I'm pretty much going to have to hoard purple and set the board up for multiple strongest colour matches, then drop several CDfWs at the same time. I'll make sure I report back in more detail on the day as to how it goes. My 3/5/5 build isn't going to excel in this challenge, compared to the 5/4/4 builds out there (but he's so awesome with XFW!).0

My guesses are that xdp will fight regular dp or blade. Has anyone else noticed that do far each of the opponents shared at least two colors with the opponent. Also there's been a bit of a theme. Wolverine and Cyclops don't get along, Fury and Mags are both leaders, hulkbuster and hulk was a gimme, and iw against quicksilver... Well, honestly, who else could she beast.
It's be nice to know more of the next 4* matchups.0 -

That would be glorious.
I actually think it'll be Xpool vs Deadpool. Because of course Deadpool will fight himself. Also, consider that both have the same colours, and same coloured actives. Furthermore, Deadpool's strongest colour is Purple so casting CDFW will make it harder to recast CDFW.0 -
I'm also thinking a 4-star Cyclops for this new character, probably the young Cyclops, repurposed from a 2-star to 4-star. The team-up tile-related powers fit into his role as the X-men leader.
Red power seems like a remix of 3-star red (the row clear thing), and yellow is also a remix of 3-star yellow (converting TU tiles into coloured AP). I think blue is the trick shot power that was originally hinted at when it was hinted that there was to be another version of Cyclops when the 3-star one was revealed.0 -
Want ... Cable0

Reading the new 4* powers, I'm not sure cyke fits... only the red does any damage so it's all support and not enough ka-BOOM!!
The numbers behind the red are going to have to be eye watering to make this one work well imho.
My guess is 4* hawkeye, but if it is I'll be very sad that he just destroys tiles instead of placing a critical. To me, 1hawk pink is still the most *fun* power in the game.0 -

IceIX wrote:Yep, Deadpool already. The idea here is that he's still pretty new, so we can see how players do when most *don't* have a character covered. Given the relatively low number of 4*s, his turn will come up again relatively soon for another token shot. The one we've got planned to come up after Deadpool will be one that most players have a bit more power on. That one also happens to be, personally, the most interesting out of the 4* fights we've got set so far.
Not sure how I feel about being a human guinea pig. I've been able to win the X-force and Invisible Woman versions, and didn't come anywhere close with the Fury and Hulkbuster. (Even though all 4 are my best covered in the game thus far.)
I'm rocking a 1/0/1 4* deadpool. My guess is that you're not going to see too many non-whale (pun intended!) 4+ covered 'pools. I really hope they've eliminated team-up tiles for this one.
And whoever suggested 3* vs 4*... Evil. Whale in the face after one AI cascade; game over.
For the record, I do appreciate the opportunities for more 4* covers. I know I am handcuffing myself a little by sitting on my 7 Legendaries, but I really can't justify the odds of redeeming them until after the second 5* is released, which may affect my ability to complete the 4* DDQ. I think, however, that the unintended consequence of the introduction of legendaries is that us (just about cover maxed 3* people) need to grind out the points to win the legendary token, but in the process, those newer players that actually need the top 100 rewards are squeezed out of the runnings and are forced to gain them through progressions in the subsequent events.
Sorry. This comment got a little bit suggestion-y.0 -

Question - if I don't bother taking my now 2-1-1 XPool (Thanks, Thick as Thieves Legendary!) into the matchup at all because I know the odds and don't want to bother/waste boosts, is that something the devs will see in the data and take into account? Overall participation rate? Or will the data only really look at people who throw themselves at the wall and bounce off?0 -
please please please make Tex Mex part of Season 19! I'm going to end up so close to 7500 and I've been busting balls to get there, but one more event would make it so much more comfortable! Even if it's just a 24 hour event, it would be much appreciated!0

Yellow 5 AP - Creates a Yellow CD tile. While this is out, Team-Up matches generate AP in the team's strongest color and increase this CD's duration.
Blue 8 AP - Destroys all Red tiles in a 3x3 surrounding the tile, gaining AP and dealing damage. Levels increase the destruction radius and tile types destroyed.
I know everyone is thinking either 4* Hawkeye or Cyclops but I think it could be 4* Magneto.
Unknown has the same colors as 3* CMags and he gains AP from destroyed tiles like 2* MNMags. The T/U ability is interesting, each T/U gives you AP in the strongest color, so the more "metal" Magneto has, the stronger he is, plus he uses that T/U (10AP) aka a bunch of "Metal" to destroy a whole row instead of just a tile.
Do you guys think that's plausible? We've been annoyed at the fact that Magneto is not a 4* so I'm thinking this is him but who knows, it could be Mojo or MODOK lol0 -
Red Hulk and Classic Cyclops confirmed. Happy with both.0

BlackBoltRocks wrote:Just curious, if it really were 4* Mags, which costume do you think he'd be in? We already have the classic purple and red for 3*, and the all-white MMM for 2*. The only other one I can think of is the black suit from Cullen Bunn's All New Marvel Now run.

Nope, it's gonna be Bob, Agent of Hydra!0 -
Question:
Is Iceman being added to the Legendary packs for the Anniversary, or do we have to wait until Season 20?0
